Amid fears that voters in Scotland could vote to secede from the United Kingdom (UK) next week, British leaders put differences aside and traveled north to Scotland Wednesday.

Prime Minister David Cameron posted joint a statement to Facebook with Labour and Liberal Democrat leaders Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg Tuesday, announcing that they will be joining the Better Together Campaign in hope of preserving the UK. This trip comes in lieu of their traditional weekly battle at Prime Minister’s Questions.

There is a lot that divides us – but there’s one thing on which we agree passionately: the United Kingdom is better together.

That’s why all of us are agreed the right place for us to be tomorrow is in Scotland, not at Prime Minister’s Questions in Westminster.

We want to be listening and talking to voters about the huge choices they face.

Our message to the Scottish people will be simple: ‘We want you to stay.’

David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg

Speaking in Edinburgh Wednesday, Cameron said he would be heartbroken if Scotland broke away from the rest of the UK:

“I would be heartbroken if this family of nations that we’ve put together – and we’ve done such amazing things together – if this family of nations was torn apart.”

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond branded the visit as “total and utter panic” and said the No campaign was “falling apart.” Scottish voters will vote Thursday, September 18 to either stay with the United Kingdom or break away and become their own nation.

On Monday, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced plans for a “modern form of home rule” for Scotland if a No vote were to prevail. Brown set out a timetable for drafting this legislation which includes:

Start drafting legislation on September 19, the day following the referendum

By the end of October: A “command paper” to be published by the UK government setting out all the proposals

By the end of November: a white paper to be drawn up after a period of consultation setting out proposed powers

January: A draft of a new Scotland Act to be published

This comes in the wake of the British pound falling below 1.62 against the U.S. dollar.

A Survation poll of 1000 Scots show independence support fading. 42.4 percent would vote yes, while 47.6 percent would vote no, according to The Daily Record. The poll was conducted between September 5-8, and does not give a margin of error.
